CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,318, dated January 24, 1899.

Application filed July 23,1896.

To (0 whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, IIARRY ANDERSON,EL citizen of the United States, residing at lVyn cote, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Cases; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in coin-cases; and it has for its objects, among others, to provide a simple and cheap device for the reception and transportation of coins through the mails without danger of loss. A further office thereof is to hold coins of different sizes.

The device, as will be readily understood, is light and may be made of any required size.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved coin-case. Fig. 2 is a section through the same. 7

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in both the views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the body portion of the holder, which is by preference of light cardboard and of any required dimensions.

Pasted or otherwise affixed thereto along two edges and one end upon the inner or upper face is the strip B, while another strip 0 extends along the center in the direction of the length thereof.

D is a piece of cardboard or other light ma terial pasted or otherwise aflixed to the upper or inner faces of these strips. It comprises the side pieces (Z, the end pieces cl, and the center piece d All of these pieces are wider than the strips upon which they lie, as shown, so that their edges will overlie the under strips to provide the spaces E between the under face of these pieces of the piece D and the adjacent face of the body portion A, as shown, and into which the coins are to be introduced SerialNo. 600,233. (No model.)

through the open-ended passages upon opposite sides of the central strip.

l3 is a cover hinged to the body portion and 5 5 adapted to lie flat thereupon, although this cover may sometimes be omitted. The cloth that forms the hinge connection between the body portion and cover preferably extends the full length of the body portion and cover, as shown, to form a cover therefor and to strengthen the same.

The coin case or envelop as a whole being made of light cardboard or equivalent flexible material is admirably adapted to the purpose indicated, readily receiving the coins for transportation by mail or otherwise, obviating the necessity of gumming or pasting the cover over them to hold them in place, as is usually done, and thereby facilitating the ready removal of the coins when required.

What is claimed as new is 1. A coin case or envelop comprising a body portion of flexible material, parallel lon gitudinal strips of similar material secured to 7 5 the sides and center of said body portion to form coin spaces or grooves between them, a transverse strip closing said grooves at one end, and wider strips of similar material overlapping the inner or adjacent edges of said first-named parallel and transverse strips for holding the coins in the coin spaces or grooves.

2. The combination in a coin case or envelop made of flexible material, of abody portion A, side and end strips B, and a central longitudinal strip 0 secured to the body portion and forming coin spaces or grooves open at one end between it and the side strips,wider strips (Z, d and d overlapping the inner or adjacent edges of the strips B and O and secured 9o thereto for retaining the coins in the coin spaces or grooves, and a hinged cover F adapted to fold over and cover the faces of the wider strips, and extending the full length of the body portion, for the purpose and substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I.have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY ANDERSON.-
